A warm and comforting banana oatmeal recipe with a hint of cinnamon and a touch of sweetness, perfect for a quick and healthy breakfast.
Peel the banana and slice it thinly.
Using a ripe banana will add natural sweetness to the dish.
Combine the oats, almond milk, water, and cinnamon in a saucepan.
Stir the mixture well to ensure the cinnamon is evenly distributed.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
Keep an eye on the pot to prevent the mixture from boiling over.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and the mixture is creamy.
Adjust the cooking time to achieve your preferred oatmeal consistency.
Stir in the banana slices and cook for an additional minute.
Adding the banana at the end preserves its texture and flavor.
Divide the oatmeal into serving bowls, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle with toasted pumpkin seeds.
For a more indulgent touch, add a dollop of yogurt or a sprinkle of chocolate chips.
